    37 years away. You'd be amazed at the changes which could be made by then.

    1. A lot of farm land being returned to the wild. Only possible if synthetic food technologies come to light, which they prob will by then.

    2. Nuclear Fusion / renewable technologies will mean that 90% of the energy produced on earth will be carbon neutral. Efforts to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere may happen.

    3. Some effort may be made to try to remove lead particulates in the atmosphere. They'll still be floating around, long after the introduction of unleaded petrol.

    4. Efforts may be made to clone animals which went extinct in the past 10,000 years due to human interference.

    We will have made contact to another civilization. I'll dig this thread up in 37 years and see how we got on.

    I would definitely like to see space exploration working, especially mining on asteroids, moons and Mars. Wouldn't expect a large base floating space that could hold roughly a million habitats. May see us walking on Mars for the first time and setting up a base on the Moon. A lot time for this but I think it will happen.

    The death penalty for science fundamentalists.
